Lets stand there watching a LEO get his rear handed to him. Nobody helped, nobody even calls 911 for help but of course some filmed the incident :smash: Sure nobody needs to jump in if they don't feel capable but not even call for help? I am glad I have worked areas where citizens have come to my aid :thumbs2: Karma.....

Last time I checked, PA was CHL-friendly.
Even OC is legal in Philadelphia with a valid license.

Too bad the guy with the épée wasn't there.
If I wasn't armed, I'm sure there had to be some hard object laying about that could have been wrapped around the thugs head.

Most people are cowards.

I saw a bunch of good witnesses near the end of the video...

Pitiful...unfortunately, these days with lawsuits, gangbangers and other miscreants out there, it is just easier for many to not get involved. I would have at least called 911 and also would have helped the officer if at all possible. That's just my nature...

It's sad our culture is changing this way but when any organization has an institutional "us versus them" attitude, it's only a matter of time before "they" reciprocate.
